We invite proposals for 15-minute presentations from undergraduate and MA students whose research is
relevant to the topic of the conference. Papers may come from the fields of literature, film, theater and
performance arts, popular culture, visual culture and the media, history, politics, intercultural and
interdisciplinary communication, and transatlantic relations and may address issues such as (but not necessarily
limited to): longstanding American values and their more recent challenges and interpretations; definitions of
happiness in United States cultures; subverting American values; alternative values; ethnic American values;
negotiating between old and new values in the United States. Free accommodation for one or two nights will be
provided in University of Bucharest dorms for students from other universities. The best presentation will
receive the newly established “Dan Grigorescu” prize (US$ 200).
Submission Guidelines
1. a 250-word abstract attached as an MS Word file. Your abstract must include the paper title and the name
of the academic coordinator who has agreed to supervise your paper. Please note that, considering that each
presentation will be 15 minutes long, final papers should be approximately 5-6 pages (Times New Roman, font
12, double-spaced). However, we strongly encourage participants to present and not simply read their papers.
Please send your submissions (indicating whether you need accommodation and for how many nights) via e-mail
to sabina.draga.alexandru@lls.unibuc.ro.
For any questions, please contact dr. Maria-Sabina Draga Alexandru (sabina.draga.alexandru@lls.unibuc.ro).
